Tag: Rabbits

Our two oldest New Zealand does have both had babies recently. 8 days apart. For the first few days, I think these little bunnies look pretty ugly (I tell the kids they’re uncooked pork dumplings. That in itself is pretty gross) but after a few days they start to get hair and start to get a little cuter.

This is the bunnies at 24hrs old.These bunnies are 10 days old and look more like bunnies everyday.

I think one of the more amazing things about living out here and having animals, is for the kids to see life happen. With the pairing up of our buck and doe rabbits to breed (yup, they know that part) to the seeing a doe start to pull hair to make a nest in preparation for birth. Then, the little bunnies growing up, getting noticeably bigger every day and become full sized rabbits. Even I find it so fascinating to see life happen over and over again. The kids love and it’s an experience that we as parents are proud and grateful to be able to give them.
